Introduction

The big difference between C/C++ and Rust:

safe by default:
all memory accesses are checked.

The unifying principles behind Rust:

• strictly enforcing safe borrowing of data
• functions, methods and closures to operate on data
• tuples, structs and enums to aggerate data
• pattern matching to select and destructre data
• traits to define behaviour on data

Rust is statically-typed and strongly-typed

static types:
the type is known at compile time

dynamic types:
the type is known at run time
